[UPDATE - 07:30 GMT 5 March - Despite claims to the contrary in the UK media, we're working well with opposition groups & civic society on crossing through Egypt - twitter.com/georgegalloway]
This is the reason why opposition forces are worried and distressed that the Viva Palestina convoy leaders are possibly allowing themselves to be used by the two-faced and criminal Egyptian regime. We reported on the case of Diaa on 16 February. Unfortunately he is no longer in a position to post 'tittle tattle' on the blogosphere, as Rob Hoveman at George's office commented yesterday when he rightly attacked the Guardian article's cynicism.
From Human Rights Watch
(New York) - Egyptian authorities should immediately charge or free Diaa Eddin Gad, a blogger held since February 6, 2009, Human Rights Watch said today. Gad is among a number of bloggers and activists arrested in relation to protest in Egypt since the beginning of the Gaza offensive in late December 2008.
"Apparently it's not enough for the Egyptian government to imprison its own critics," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "It is now intent on silencing Egyptians who criticize Israel as well."
